Shane Connolly, whose eponymous flower design company is by appointment to HRH the Prince of Wales, will talk about his work and the influences and inspirations which have led to his unique style and passion for sustainablity. Shane was born and raised in Northern Ireland. He read Psychology at university but a lifelong passion for plants and gardening eventually led to a complete career change and he set up his business in 1989 after training with some of London's leading flower designers.

In 2005 Shane was asked to design the flowers for the marriage of Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall and for the Service of Dedication in St. George's Chapel afterwards. In 2011 he was asked to design all floral decorations for the marriage of Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
